The latest from @galapalavicini.bsky.social and me:
"As we prepare to transition to a new period of Alberta-Ottawa relations, we can all hope for the return of functional federalism and the demise of costly stunts like the equalization referendum."

Opinion: The clock runs out on Alberta’s plan to amend the Constitution
Jason Kenney’s government held a referendum on removing the equalization principle from the Constitution Act, but the three-year window to do so has ended

Really excited for today's talk by Dr Glennon. Aside from some electoral reform efforts in BC and some ultimately rejected proposals during the Charlottetown Accord period, I'm not aware of Canada doing much in the way of real, citizen-led deliberation vis-a-vis constitutional issues.
There's still time to register for tomorrow's webinar with Dr Seana Glennon! Register here if you're interested in deliberative democracy, comparative constitutionalism, and reproductive rights: ualberta-ca.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

I'll be saying words at this too, but rest assured that there are plenty of more interesting people involved!
There's still plenty of time to register for our multi-location, bilingual workshop on Canada's controversial notwithstanding clause, which lets governments derogate from certain human rights commitments for renewable five-year periods. Learn more here: www.constitutionalstudies.ca/events/funda...
